Photograph of a painting depicting a game of popinjay, also known as pole archery. A large group of richly dressed men and women have gathered in an outdoor setting. Most of them are looking up toward a small bird-shaped object that has been placed on a tall pole. A horse rider can be seen as shooting toward the bird as his horse gallops in the center of the image.
